Pasta Night Fundraiser

Our next Pasta Night Fundraiser is on Tuesday, March 6th. This will be
during the Kindergarten and First Grade concerts. We are looking for
more volunteers to help during this popular event!This is the last chance to fulfill the 2 hour volunteer requirement. Please let us know if you are able to help.
Each family is also responsible for bringing one package of cookies to
serve at our dinner. All proceeds from this fundraiser benefit our
preschool program.

Grant

If you have had the opportunity to stop in the preschool lately, you
may have noticed a few new things. Last fall, we applied for and
received a grant allowing us to purchase new items for the children to
use. This includes a new (larger) carpet for our group time, a table,
large lego blocks, mirrors and other science materials, are just to name
a few. We were able to apply for this grant due to our
continued work regarding the Quality Rating System (QRS) developed by
the Department of Human Services. The funding was made possible by the United Way of Central Iowa Women's Leadership Connection. We greatly appreciate their support!!!

Spring Break

As you may recall, our school calendar follow that of the Van Meter Schools. Therefore, Spring Break is from Friday, March 16th - Monday, March 26th. Have a great time!!

Elementary Carnival

The
Elementary Carnival is on Saturday, March 3rd. Bring your family out
for a fun-filled evening from 5:30 - 8:30. There will be a silent
auction (including a "game night" preschool basket :), raffles and lots
of games! Since this is an Elementary fundraiser, it will does not count toward your volunteer hours requirement.
